Newly-released body camera footage sheds light on a fatal, high-speed chase involving two Anaheim police officers in 2018.
By Michael Brice-Saddler Michael Brice-Saddler General Assignment Reporter Email Bio Follow May 9 at 10:40 PM It was a beautiful July morning for the residents of a West Anaheim, Calif., neighborhood. Some walked along the streets and children played outside, enjoying the clear skies.
The officers fired a combined 76 shots as they chased Nava through West Anaheim, which prosecutors called “alarming and irresponsible.” Sixty-four of those shots came from Pedersen, a probationary officer, who was dismissed by the department, Anaheim Police Chief Jorge Cisneros said during a Wednesday news conference. Staymates will be disciplined, he said.
The officers whiz by houses and cars throughout the chase. At one point, Pedersen tells Staymates: “hold on we got too much traffic here buddy . . . don’t take a shot, don’t take a shot, we got people in front of us." An autopsy revealed Nava sustained at least nine gunshot wounds to the head, neck and upper extremities.
